Fat people disgust me in every way imaginable. I was at Freindly's with my girl tonight and saw a bunch of fat fuckers. I felt sorry for the pavement they were killing and the people who had to see them. .

Ortiz/belfort is the fight to see who stays in 3rd place in the UFC, and who goes begging to Pride. Ortiz has no real finishing skills except for power wrestling, get a td, and control and do some gnp and get a points win. Worked with all his opponents in title defense, all smaller guys, Tito fought up to Couture. I dont think it will work with Belfort. Also, Tito sucks at standup, and is likely to get nailed. Belforts problem is his attitude--he lacks a killer instinct and intensity, a lot of times. Belfort.

Sylvia/Arlovski -- Tim is a big, clumsy bozo who lucked out to become champ. With Mir he was clueless on the ground--the uberbozo. Arlovski should make short work of him, ala Mir, but then Arlovski seems to have brain lesions. Against Rizzo, he apparenly never looked at tape and never seemed to realize if you get Pedro down, he is done. And if you stand with Rizzo a whole fight, you better be a better striker (or faster, like Randleman) than he is, or you might get pounded, like Barnett. So he got pounded. The battle of the morons, but you have to give the nod to Arlovski--way more talent.

Tanner/Terrell -- Tanner did a convincing job with Baroni, and has a variety of skills. Terrell went against the top MW, Lindland, and though he is known as a grappler (and maybe because of that, Lindlands guard was down) he found Lindland coming in wide open and so he threw a punch and go a KO...

How good is Terrell? He lost to Vernon White in his first fight, and has some wins over so-so fighters but his fluke with Lindland was his only bigtime win. I think you have to go with Tanner.

Baroni/sell -- Baroni gets a gift. Sell is a fill-in for Lawler, who is despondent, or injured, or something...

Loiseau/riggs -- Riggs has dropped down from the next class up, and is a powerhouse. I expect a pounding for loiseau.

Irvin/Kyle/Eilers/Buentello -- a group of journeyman HW's who are pretty one dimensional, and basically brawler/striker types... But then the whole UFC HW class isnt much, with probably only a couple of guys in the world top ten, and maybe less than that. So maybe these guys are supposed to pass for potential contenders.... Yawn....

Diaz/Fickett -- Fickett is new to the bigtime, but has a zillion subs in lesser events. Diaz is the real deal, and lost a split dec to Karo. Seems to be the more rounded fighter. I'll take Diaz

Karo/Lytle -- should be a great fight, both very talented. A toss up in my book. I'll take Lytle.

Belfort over Ortiz for sure. Ortiz is great but he's lost something like his last two fights against Couture and Liddell. Belfort got bullied my Couture, but I don't think Ortiz has the skills to do that to him.

The only time I've seen Tim Sylvia fight was against Mir when his forearm snapped within the first minute or so; and despite the man's ability to shrug it off and want to keep fighting, he didn't really impress me. Never seen Andre, so I'm not too sure.

The rest, I couldn't really care; none of them are awesome standout fighters yet. Exception to Nick Diaz; that dude REALLY impresses me. Good ground game, good boxing. Give him enough time and he'll be awesome.
